An AWS Region is a geographic area.
An Availability Zone is an isolated location within that Region.
Running everything in one Availability Zone is like owning a spare house key but keeping it inside the house.
If that location becomes unavailable, your application needs somewhere else to run.
For important systems, design across multiple Availability Zones.
High availability is planned. It does not appear automatically because the AWS logo is on the invoice.
